means the co-product material generated from the recycling of

paper, paperboard, and corrugated containers and is composed primarily of wet strength and short wood fibers that cannot be used to make

new paper and paperboard products. - Drop reference to fibers from OCC rejects which could be limiting 5 American F'or&$t & Paper Association (fJ AMFRIC":AN 'NOOD C":OI

## • Meaningful heating value -Do not use 5000 Btu

as threshold 

## • Other discarded materials -Addressed through industry standards - Economic incentives to exclude 

## • Add off-site burning - Meets legal criteria for listing - Better for environment to recover energy

on air permits - Additional categories based

on renewable fuel characteristics and environmental benefits
- No further record keeping needed
